How long until ABC and CBS air shows on Hulu?
When it comes to watching the latest TV shows online. Hulu has become the number 1 destination and already broadcasts content from over 130 TV networks. However the big glaring omissions are still ABC and CBS.
The reasons behind this are a little frail. For instance ABC say that they only distribute TV content to websites that accept its proprietary video player from Move Networks. Video sites such as Veoh and AOL do this. And CBS’s reason? Well noone knows, but they may be trying to compete with Hulu using its own newly aquired TV portal, TV.com, although the content on this site thus far is hardly getting anyones TV juices flowing.
ABC may not be broadcasting on Hulu but its happy to run advertising on the NBC/News Corp joint site. Broadcasting & Cable’s Alex Welprin noticed that ABC is running promo ads on Hulu shows for its sitcom “Better Off Ted,” including the option of watching a full trailer of the show, in exchange for getting “King of the Hill” commercial free.
Interestingly if a Hulu viewer does a search for any ABC TV show, such as “Desperate Houseweives,” Hulu links to ABC.com’s player anyway. Therefore ABC must be aware of how much traffic Hulu is sending its way and how many Hulu users are looking for ABC content on Hulu. As ABC obviously rate Hulu’s traffic big enough to advertise on it, surely the next logical step would be to distribute its TV shows directly through Hulu’s website.
If that were to happen. CBS would not surely be far behind.

It makes sense for this to happen. I think myself and many others want a single site that streams all of the catch-up TV instead of hunting and loading different websites.
I think until that happens online TV wont become mainstream.
Im wondering how long after a show that is on AMC airs can it be viewd on hulu.com or any other online website. for instance, there have been 3 episodes of The walking dead, aird, but only one is available to watch(episode 1) I really want to see the 2nd one and cant, so i was just wondering how long before i can?
For the walking dead, go to stagevu.com and watch it there. I did, as I needed to see it before the 3rd episode aired.
